Lt Gen Manoj Pande succeeds Gen MM Naravane as army chief

Lieutenant General Manoj Pande took over as India’s new Chief of Army Staff on Saturday, succeeding General MM Naravane. General Pande previously served as the army’s vice chief, a position he took in February after Lieutenant General CP Mohanty retired after serving his term.

He is the first officer from the Corps of Engineers, also known as the’sappers,’ to command the Indian Army. Officers from the’sappers’ have held positions as commanders and vice chiefs of staff, but never as army chiefs of staff.

He will be the 29th army chief for more than two years, having been born on May 6, 1962. Service chiefs are appointed for three years or until they reach the age of 62, whichever comes first.

He will take command of one of the world’s largest armies at a time when India is grappling with multiple challenges on its borders, including the ongoing standoff with China, and is attempting to maximise resources and contributions from the three services – Army, Air Force, and Navy – in order to fight future wars and operations.

His appointment comes as the Narendra Modi government works to indigenize military hardware, a topic that will be particularly difficult to address in light of Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.

Two-thirds of India’s military equipment is of Soviet or Russian origin, putting the country’s military preparedness squarely in the crosshairs.

“Fortunately, injuries didn’t affect the spine.” Saif Ali Khan receives 10 stitches for a serious stab wound sustained during the home burglary.

Actor Saif Ali Khan’s house in Bandra, Mumbai was a target for an attempted robbery during the early hours of Thursday morning. The actor was stabbed during the incident and had to urgently be taken to Lilavati hospital and undergo surgery. Now, we have received more updates on it.

We have learnt from sources at the hospital that one of the injuries was quite deep and the actor has received 10 stitches for this stab. The source says, “Fortunately, it has not affected the spine. He was very lucky that the stabs have not affected any of his vital organs. It appears to have been attacked by a knife and he was actually thwarting a robbery attempt.”

The source adds, “Of the six injuries that Saif has suffered, two injuries are deep, two are mid and two are superficial.”

Coincidentally, at the reported time of the robbery, Saif’s wife Kareena Kapoor Khan has put up an Insta story of a girls night in with her friends Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, and sister Karisma Kapoor. It had led to speculations that she was probably not at home during the time of burglary. However her team has released a statement saying, “All members of the household were present at home at the time of the unfortunate incident.”

As per recent reports, three suspects have been detained by the Bandra Police in the case.
